Evony Age 2 Guide

The scout is a very useful unit in Evony Age 2, and you want to have several of these in each of your cities all the time. The scouts are pretty weak when it comes to attack and defense, but their main purpose is to do scouting missions after all. The scouts also defend you against other players scouting your cities. You only need level 2 barracks to build scouts, and in my opinion getting a few 100 scouts is the first thing you should do starting up on a new Evony Age 2 server. Read the rest of this entry »

The delicate gem is an item you use in Evony Age 2 to increase the star level of various items. Gems come in two types in Evony Age 2, delicate gems and flawless gems. The delicate gem is the worst of the two types, meaning the success chance of upgrading an item’s star level using a delicate gem is lower than if you use a flawless gem. You upgrade an items star level in the workshop. The advantage with the delicate gem is that it is very cheap at only 1 Evony cent per gem. The flawless gem is twice as expensive at 2 cent per gem.

The beacon tower allows you to be warned in the cases of an incoming invasion towards your city. It sends you information about the invasion like army size, time the invading army might arrive, and heroes which are marching with the invading army.

When you level this building, it allows you to gain more information about the invasion. An example is, at level 2 the beacon tower will send you information if the invading army is marching to plunder or to scout. So as you upgrade the more info it will give you about the invasion. It is also said that upgrading informatics will also play a role on the information given by the beacon tower. The building is a must for every city that you have, as getting information about incoming attacks is really important.

Informatics is the technology that effects how you gain information from your scouts. A high informatics level will allow your scouts to gain more information on a place you send them to. A scout attack checks the size of an opposing city’s military.

With each upgrade to informatics, your scouts will gain more data when scouting, and they can scout higher level locations. Please also not that like other technologies, informatics needs certain prerequisites to upgrade. As the level of informatics increases, so will be the spying capabilities of your scouts. This might provide you with the upper hand that you will need to conquer an opposing empire. Detailed information about scouting can be found in the table below. Read the rest of this entry »

This offense stratagem is really useful I think, especially later in the game. When other players has millions of scouts in their cities it is very hard to scout them the normal way. Using this stratagem you can see how many troops they have in their city without having to use and scouts of your own. The stratagem is quite cheap compared to the other offense stratagems, so I can see this being one being used quite a lot.

Using Gems is a new feature of Evony Age II and you use these gems to improve the attributes the gear and items give to your heroes. The gear itself you make in your workshop, while you use the forge to place gems on the gear you have already made, this is called Advanced Blacksmithing. Then you use the feasting hall to equip heroes with gear. Gems are not the same as stratagems or gemstones. Gems in Evony Age II come in 3 types, Rubies, Sapphires and Topazes and each of these come from level 1 to level 10 I believe, even though I’ve only seen level 1 to level 9 so far.

You can buy these gems in the Evony store, and you can also get them from attacks. You can also melt two gems together to make a higher level gem using Advanced Gems Smelting. If you want to buy the gems from the store you buy them in chests. There are 3 types of chests, the Wooden Chest, the Bronze Chest and the Royal Chest. Each chest offers you 1 or 2 gems of level 1-3 for a Wooden Chest, 4-6 for a Bronze Chest and 7-9 for a Royal Chest.  Read the rest of this entry »

A new feature of Evony Age II is that you can equip heroes with different types of equipment and items. These different type of hero gear all adds different attribute points to your hero. The gear can has a level called star level, you can upgrade the star level of your gear in the workshop using delicate and flawless gems. You put gear on your hero in the feasting hall.

Each hero has 16 available slots he can use to place gear in, that is mount, shield, legs, weaponry, feet, 2 rings, 2 charms, belts, gauntlets, chest, back, shoulders, head and neck. As you can see the heroes of Evony Age 2 can get really powerful if you give them good gear. What type of gear your hero can be equipped with depends on his level. The lowest level possible that can use gear is a level 10 hero, he can use level 1 gear. You can see what type of heroes can wear what gear in this table.

You make the gear in your workshop and you can decide what focus the gear should have when you put in on your hero. If you equip your hero with all level 1 equipment without gems that is focused on attack he will get +16 attack. If you upgrade your gears star level you can get even higher bonuses, read about star levels here. With high level equipment your hero could get an increase of several hundred points in the attribute of your choice!
